INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18502351 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that reduces loss in a movable apparatus and a facility by acquiring operation plans for multiple movable apparatuses, restriction information on the facility, calculating potential control methods, and determining the best control method based on calculated losses.

  • The device acquires operation plans for multiple movable apparatuses.
  • It acquires restriction information on the facility to be utilized by the movable apparatuses.
  • The device calculates potential control methods for the movable apparatuses and the facility based on the restriction information.
  • It calculates the loss caused by each potential control method.
  • The device determines the best control method based on the calculated losses.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in industries where multiple movable apparatuses are used in facilities, such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, and logistics centers.

Problems Solved

This technology helps reduce loss in movable apparatuses and facilities by optimizing control methods based on restriction information, ultimately improving efficiency and productivity.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include minimizing loss, improving operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and enhancing overall performance of movable apparatuses and facilities.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the automation industry, where optimizing control methods for multiple movable apparatuses is crucial for maximizing productivity and minimizing losses.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing systems that optimize control methods for movable apparatuses in facilities, but may not specifically focus on reducing loss based on restriction information.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device acquire operation plans for multiple movable apparatuses?

The device acquires operation plans for multiple movable apparatuses through a data input system that collects information on the movements and tasks of each apparatus.

What criteria are used to determine the best control method from the candidates?

The best control method is determined based on a combination of factors, including the calculated losses, efficiency of operation, and compliance with the restriction information provided for the facility.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device for reducing a loss in a movable apparatus and a facility acquires operation plans of a plurality of movable apparatuses; acquires restriction information on a facility to be utilized by the movable apparatuses; calculates, regarding a plurality of candidates for a control method for the movable apparatuses and the facility for the movable apparatuses utilizing the facility on the basis of at least the restriction information, a loss caused in a case in which each of the candidates is performed; and determines a control method from the candidates on the basis of the losses calculated by the loss calculation unit.
